Who We Are
Skye Alexandra House is an organisation that provides trauma informed care to vulnerable girls and young women. It was created out of the founder’s desire to provide solutions to the increasing problems of exploitation being experienced by many vulnerable girls / young women in London and beyond.
In order to address the resulting trauma of these negative experiences, Skye Alexandra House has a tailored strategy using various resources and approaches to engage with girls / young women and peer professionals. Skye Alexandra House uses a range of qualified and experienced individuals to achieve its aims.

Why We Exist
There are various social factors that can place young girls in a number of situations where they can be exploited. From the work we do with schools, colleges, local authorities and parents, we have been able to identify a significant area of concern faced by many girls and young women. Patterns of behaviour often include a combination of some of the following:
Often when faced with either one or several of the above list, children are forced to function without the necessary skills to cope with situations they face in life. Children without the necessary coping skills are often unknowingly vulnerable to abuse from others, such as parents, family associates, peers and strangers.
Skye Alexandra House provides a safe haven, training and support to remove young girls from these vulnerable situations and provide them with the guidance to make good decisions and lead fulfilled lives. We are passionate about the growth and personal development of girls and young women and use the metaphor of the developing butterfly to represent that ‘change takes time’. Since our inception in 2014 we have supported over a thousand girls and raised awareness across the London boroughs and beyond.
